Players need forms of play and practice that

➡️ challenge them technically, tactically and mentally in equal measure,

➡️ train their understanding of the game,

➡️ train quick perception and decision-making,

➡️ force them to adapt quickly and safely to the constantly changing game situations in defense and offense.

In small game forms, players discover those behaviors that also occur in 11:11.

Coaches can quickly and accurately assess, analyze and correct the performance of their players because they are dealing with simplified game situations.
